GCM 8000 Can't Disable a Failed Subsite
The legacy Astrotac 3000 and GCM 8000 comparators will not allow the user to Disable a receiver
(subsite) if it is in Fail mode. This applies to both the MCN Server 8000 application and the Real-Time
portion of the Motorola CSS software.
GCM 8000 Disables are Reset on Fail Condition
The GCM 8000 comparator will reset the Disable condition if a receiver (subsite) goes into Fail mode.
This applies to both the MCN Server 8000 application and the Real-Time portion of the Motorola CSS
software.
GCM 8000 CSS Software latches Votes
If s receiver (subsite) is Force-Voted from the CSS Local Status Screen, it will latch in the Force Vote
state. No other receivers will be voted in the GCM 8000. The latched Force Vote can be unlatched from
the MCN Server 8000 by pressing and releasing the left mouse button.
GCM 8000 Status Display
The possible states for the GCM 8000 subsites (receivers) include:
Displayed State Meaning
Error Undefined Status
Offline Server cannot talk to the GCM 8000 comparator (Note1)
(Blank) No Activity
DISABLE Permanently Disabled by CSS (note the capital letters)
Disable Disabled via MCN Server 8000 or MCN Client
Fail Subsite Failed - Comparator cannot talk to BR
Rx Voice Receive activity
Rx Data Data Receive activity
Forced Vote Force Vote (but not yet Voted)
Vote Voted
Vote Data Voted for Data
Last Vote Last subsite voted (GCM LV Display Tables only)
The above states are defined in the GCM 8000 and the GCM LV Display Tables.
Note 1: The Offline state could be caused by the following:
a. GCM 8000 IP address in the MCN System Configuration Files is wrong
b. MCN Server cannot talk to the GCM 8000 comparator (possible network problem)
c. If the MCN server has multiple NIC cards, the wrong one may be selected.
Note 2: The Last Vote indication will only be displayed when that subsite is otherwise in the Idle state.
Permanently Disabled (Unconfigured) Subsites
Permanently Disabled sites (Unconfigured) will show up as DISABLE or DIS (in capitals) to distinguish
them from the subsites that are disabled from MCN Server 8000 or the CSS Local Status Screen.
